Determine which tech companies are the most popular and which tech company internships are the most desired among university of Waterloo students. Keep reading below to find out which companies you should apply next!
I always wanted to use an API for my data visualization projects. After talking to a few people, it seems like Python libraries such as Beautiful Soup and the Postman application are the most common ways to call an API and build a dataset. I really like this dataset by Vlyubin which is why I decided to skip the data scraping step. I wanted to fetch my own data from the Linkedin API but it disabled profile look up on their API in 2015.
First, some information about the dataset. In Vlyubin's own words, "Only students who started in 2010 to 2013 (inclusive) and did at least 2 internships with industry being Computer Software or Internet at university of Waterloo are considered. This data was collected in August 2015 and contains 2392 students."
Determine the top 10 companies a student should apply to given their past experiences using supervised learning. To challenge myself and learn something new, I will use an ensemble Model in Python as I am studying a kernel about it this week.
I am aware there is a lack of features which I need to train my model as all I have
is a list of company names for each student. I want to extract as much value out of it as I can.
1. Clean the features by capitalizing the first letter of each company name only, removing duplicate students,
anything after a punctuation, ending space, between parenthesis, "Inc.", "Ltd." etc. This allows us to have a
smaller number of categories and ultimately increase the performance of the model and prevent overfitting. By adding this step,
I was able to remove 260 companies from the total number of unique companies (3560 => 3360).
2. I know I can do better though. I remember reading a data scraping project
by Nadiah where she replaced strings by another if the exact string can be found in it, string that are the same except for up to 2 characters,
and compared the matching to more standardized lists. This can be particularly useful since I see a lot of "IBM" and "IBM Canada" for example.
By adding this step, I was able to go down by 372 companies (3360 => 2988)!
3. Create one data point for each internship excluding the first term. For example, if a student
worked at ABC in T1, XXX in T2, and RTC in T3, then he/she would get the following data points:
3. Add a few numerical features to the data set to quantify the companies. Here, I am simply checking how many times
each company appeared in each term. I decided to count how many 'None' in each term since this information is useful.
Now that I have my base features, I realize another problem in the project. There is no way I can give my
model 3400 values for each feature; it is too sparse! It does not take into consideration enough scenarios
and wouldn't be able to predict future data points correctly. I can attempt to solve it by adding more training data
(not available), group companies under larger categories (requires web scraping), improve my data cleaning (not worth the 80/20 time spent at
the moment) or derive more features. One way to do the latter is to see the data as a directed graph (which we did in part 1) and derive features from it.
This is an interesting idea and I will look into it for future enhancements.
I also realized there is no way to carry the information from each company at each step as it implies duplicating the same
work six times... a lot of boilerplate. I decided to build two models: one predicting the "attractiveness"
of each company and one predicting the top 10 companies depending on previous placements.
To get more information for each company, I decided to leverage one of the followings: Linkedin, Glassdoor or Wikipedia. The main features I want to
extract are the location of each company (both country and city), number of employees, salary, work culture,
type of company (tech, banking, finance, health, government), employees satisfaction, etc. I will try Glassdoor first.
This step took a lot of time as I am not very used to web scraping with JavaScript. Since Glassdoor add an unique id to each company in the
URL, I had to use the selenium library in Python. I decided to perform my data scraping in two steps: (1) Retrieve the link of each
company and (2) Retrieve the information of each company. Then as a follow up step, (3) I cleaned my data and created a scoring system for
each company.
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
I won't go too much in detail about the scoring system, but the criteria where dependent on location of the head office, difficulty of interviews,
how recent is the company, what is the product, how much in revenue, etc. I am aware I used an additive model to calculate the score without looking
into the interaction of the scores. Also, since the information collected from Glassdoor is mostly tailored for full time jobs, there will be some
unexplained errors since it is not the same scope as my problem definition (companies for CS internships).
Let's do some data visualization!
Finally, the scores of all companies, excluding those with no information on Glassdoor, create an almost normal distribution
with a mean around 0.60.
As you have seen in the data preparation part, the current dataset is:
I then replaced the names of each company to their corresponding score:
Next is the statistical learning step. I first randomized then designated 75% of the data to training and 25% to testing.
I then used an ensemble model by stacking (following the tutorial here)
three models: XGBoosting, ExtraTreesRegressor, and RandomForestRegressor which are all available within the Sklearn library.
The validation was done using a 4 fold cross validation. The model ends up having a mean absolute error of 0.15732525+0.00129982794535 in
average. The MAE calculated on the testing set is 0.1582475127257455 and 0.15327982095644518 on the training set, which suggests there is
a very low risk of overfitting. This model is far from perfect but it does show some interesting insights about future internship.
Finally, I switched back to the original labels for each entry inside the testing set:

s6
Software
skarnet.org
The s6-svlink program
s6-svlink creates, in a scan
directory, a symlink to a service
directory, and notifies s6-svscan
that a new service has been registered. It waits until a
s6-supervise supervisor process has
been spawned to manage the new service, then exits.
The point of s6-svlink is to help integrate
service directories into an existing service manager sequence and
eliminate race conditions.
Interface
s6-svlink [ -d | -D ] [ -P ] [ -f ] [ -t timeout ] scandir servicedir [ name ]
- s6-svlink expects a running s6-svscan
process on scandir and a fully functional, but unsupervised,
service directory in servicedir.
- It symlinks servicedir into scandir. The symbolic link
is named name; if no name argument has been given, the name given
to the symbolic link is the basename of servicedir.
- It sends a command to s6-svscan to signal it
that a new service is available.
- It waits for an s6-supervise process to be
spawned on servicedir.
- It exits 0.
Exit codes
- 0: success
- 99: timeout while waiting for the supervisor to start
- 100: wrong usage
- 111: system call failed
Options
- -d : down. The supervisor will be started, but the service
itself will remain down. Any servicedir/down file will be
deleted. By default, if neither the -d nor -D options have
been given, the supervisor auto-starts the service as soon as it runs.
- -D : down, and stay down. The supervisor will be started,
but the service itself will remain down. A servicedir/down file
will be created. By default, if neither the -d nor -D options have
been given, the supervisor auto-starts the service as soon as it runs.
- -P : public. If servicedir/event does not
exist, it will be created as public, i.e. anyone will be able to subscribe to
this fifodir. By default, it will be created as private,
i.e. only processes running with the same gid as the s6-svscan
process will be able to susbscribe to it.
- -f : force permissions. The presence or absence of the -P
option (i.e. the public or private state of servicedir/event) will be
enforced even if servicedir/event already exists. By default,
s6-svlink exits with an error message if servicedir/event
exists and its public/private state mismatches what is requested.
- -t timeout : if the supervisor has not started
after timeout milliseconds, s6-svlink will print a message
to stderr and exit 99. By default, timeout is 0, which means no time
limit.
Notes
- Using s6-svlink to start services is a suboptimal pattern: it
requires precise manipulations involving use of s6-ftrigrd
in order to avoid race conditions, so it is relatively expensive. The simpler,
more efficient pattern is to have all the supervisors already started at boot
time, so the existence of the supervisor can be relied on, and starting the
service becomes a trival and instant operation - this is, for instance, how
the s6-rc service manager behaves.
However, it can be difficult to implement this pattern with other services
managers such as OpenRC; in those cases, s6-svlink, which starts the
supervisors one at a time, can be used instead.
- If servicedir is logged, i.e. servicedir/log
is also a valid service directory, then s6-svlink will wait until
supervisors have been spawned for both the service and its logger.
- s6-svlink sends an s6-svscanctl -a
command to scandir, which means that the system's view of services
will be refreshed. Depending on what links exist in scandir, other
services than servicedir may also appear.
- The symmetrical program to s6-svlink is named
s6-svunlink.

As we carry on into the wonderful world of statistical inference, expect flashbacks of our statistics review. That’s what the review was for! It’s all coming together :relieved:.
Chapter 5: Hypothesis Tests and Confidence Intervals
SW 5.1 Testing Hypotheses About One of the Regression Coefficients
This is very important stuff. Again, don’t worry about calculating the variance of a beta coefficient by hand. However, note how similar this is to our hypothesis testing in Chapter 3!
SW 5.2 Confidence intervals for a regression coefficient
SW 5.3 Regression when X is a binary variable
We are going to use this ALL THE TIME.
SW 5.4 Heteroskedasticity and homoskedasticity
{{% tweet "1316528345224343552" %}}Drop “heteroskedasticity” into any conversation and you’re sure to delight. Just one more benefit of EC200. The examples and implications of heteroskedasticity are important.
And, now you’ll know to add , robust
to all your Stata regressions. (Quick, someone tell Nate Silver!)
SW 5.5 Theoretical foundations of OLS
Know the Gauss-Markov theorem and related assumptions. Skip “regression estimators other than OLS.” The appendix contains a proof of the Gauss-Markov theorm, but we will not cover that.
SW 5.6 Skip this section!
SW 5.7 Conclusion
For the good times.


Implementations of permutation approach to hypothesis testing for quasi-independence of truncation time and failure time. The implemented approaches are powerful against non-monotone alternatives and thereby offer protection against erroneous assumptions of quasi-independence. The proposed tests use either a conditional or an unconditional method to evaluate the permutation p-value. The conditional method was first developed in Tsai (1980) <doi:10.2307/2336059> and Efron and Petrosian (1992) <doi:10.1086/171931>. The unconditional method provides a valid approximation to the conditional method, yet computationally simpler and does not hold fixed the size of each risk sets. Users also have an option to carry out the proposed permutation tests in a parallel computing fashion.

Client: 0100design
Design Outcome
Logo designThe logo of 0100design represents emptiness to completion, which metaphorically illustrates the meaning in numbers: 0 to 100. 0 is empty, not perfect and everything is possible. 100 is the perfection, fulfillment and completion. As the studio was persuing this philosophy in their designs, the logo design also captured the essense of their spirit.

SWITCHING TO ONLINE SHOPPING
Covid-19 has forced us to do everything online.While this might have been a very great move for the reserved public , many of the technically challenged people who come from various backgrounds were severely affected.They do not have as much connectivity to the internet as others.This resulted in E-commerce giants releasing many new features in their online portals.
SOLUTIONS BY ECCOMERCE COMPANIES
E-Commerce companies are continously striving to find more ways to attract more customers and entice them to buying many things.The problem was resolved by companies in diferent ways
Jiomart , a new eccomerce company emerged into the online shopping market and rose in popularity post pandemic.It introduced a system which allowed technically challenged people to place their orders through Whatsapp.This was a very innovative solution , though very taxing for the company as it had to maintain many chatbots and staff to communicate with customers efficiently.
ONLINE PAYMENT EVOLUTION
With all kinds of shopping taking place online , the payments system had to evolve as well.This was because due to the pandemic easy payment with cash was no longer possible and payment via bank and credit card was very cumbersome process .Many online payment portals such as
PayTM , AmazonPay and PhonePe rose in popularity.
Even though they were present earlier as well,they started to make their presence known now.Social media apps such as Facebook and Whatsapp also rushed to integrate payment systems into their already popular applications.The Indian government also released online platforms for payment such as BHIM.They also released UPI , a method of payment which allowed you to make transactions directly from your bank account without going throw the hassle netbanking

I ended up downloading the book on audible and listening to the whole book while at work/ driving. Some of the main learnings I took were self awareness and empathy are really important and it helped me connect the dots on how mindfulness can help with emotional intelligence (by being aware of your body). The chapter also made the point that our emotional intelligence is not fixed, and can be learned and developed with practice.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to monitor one’s own and other’s feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions. It is one of the best predictors of success at work and fulfillment in life. Its benefits include: Stellar work performance, Outstanding leadership, The ability to create the conditions for happiness.
I enjoyed the two minutes of mindfulness, it reminded me of the end of a yoga class, where you focus on your breathing and letting go. I was listening to the book while driving through traffic in town, and I normally get a bit frustrated with the red lights etc, I found listening to the book and practising mindfulness while doing that really helpful in allowing me to return to a calm state and recognize feelings/frustrations that were occuring.
When living in mindfulness, neutral activities tend to become pleasant, and pleasant experiences become even more pleasant.

POW/MIA flag to fly year-round at federal offices under new law
by David R. SandsThe distinctive POW/MIA flag now will be flown daily throughout the year over prominent federal buildings, including the White House, the U.S. Capitol and all post offices and military installations, thanks to a new law that took effect Thursday.
“This is a historic victory for every man and woman who courageously defended this nation and remain unaccounted for,” Veterans of Foreign Wars Commander William “Doc” Schmitz said in a release.
The display of the black POW flag, with its silhouette of a captured U.S. prisoner and the logo “You are not forgotten” would serve “as a daily reminder that these heroes and their families are forever etched in our DNA,” Mr. Schmitz said.
The National POW/MIA Flag Act was introduced in March 2019 by Rep. Jack Bergman, Michigan Republican, and Rep. Chris Pappas, New Hampshire Democrat. Mr. Bergman is a retired Marine lieutenant general.
More than 82,000 men and women who served in the military are currently unaccounted for or listed as POW/MIA, Mr. Bergman said.
Previously, the law only made it mandatory to fly the flag on just six designated days: Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day in May, Flag Day, July 4, POW/MIA Recognition Day in September and Veterans Day.
“Flying this flag at federal properties 365 days a year is just a small way that we can ensure their sacrifice and devotion to our nation is never forgotten,” Mr. Bergman said.

Java Simon API provides support for implementing an internal application performance monitoring. Monitors (called Simons) have to be incorporated directly into the code and API provides additional management features for these monitors.
Java Simon is not a tool for profiling in the first place - it is rather a library that helps to implement performance (and other metrics) monitoring directly in the application as the integral part of it. Measured metrics can be sampled and stored persistently for later processing, trend analyzing, problem tracking, etc. It helps to give an additional perspective (history) to the application.
Stopwatch
is probably the most often used monitor. Simple use case looks like this:
Stopwatch stopwatch = SimonManager.getStopwatch("stopwatch-name"); Split split = stopwatch.start(); //... measured code split.stop();
Monitors are always obtained from the Manager
- in this case so called
"default manager" is used via convenient utility class SimonManager
.
Every time the same name of the monitor is requested the same monitor is returned.
If there is no need for explicit stopwatch
reference, the first two lines can be shortened to:
Split split = SimonManager.getStopwatch("stopwatch-name").start();
Instead of stopping the stopwatch directly, there is the Split
object
that represents the measured time-span. Client code has to keep this reference in order to
stop the measuring, but it also allows for multiple splits measured in parallel without binding
them to specific threads.
Simon names form a hierarchy similar to Java Logging API. It is possible to disable whole subtrees of Simons
to minimiaze performance penalty (mostly neglectable) or use SimonUtils
to
perform other operations on the hierarchy (print Simon tree, aggregations, recursive Simon reset, ...).

Manager provides access to the Simons (one manager, one hierarchy) and other management operations related
to one set of Simons. Whole manager can be disabled which is even stronger form of disabled Simon (with close
to no performance overhead - see DisabledEnabledComparison from example classes).
Being able to put a Stopwatch anywhere is powerful because one is not limited to method beginning or end, split allows to stop the stopwatch in a different thread, etc. Drawback is that the code might get poluted with various Simon code. Simon API provides a few tools how to get results quickly with minimal to no coding:
SimonServletFilter
measures HTTP requests and provides simple way how to
display tree of all Simons or reset the Manager. Filter can also report long requets along with all splits
collected during the request.
org.javasimon.spring
) helps monitor calls to beans - poitcut can be configured
in Spring config or application can be scanned for Monitored
annotations (Spring AOP).
Annotation can be also used to further configure Stopwatch names.
org.javasimon.spring.webmvc
.
Driver
) - monitors virtually all JDBC API calls.
In simple scenarios only the change of the JDBC URL is required - just add simon:
in front of the real
name of the driver (e.g. jdbc:simon:h2:...
). In more complex scenarios configuration change may be
required - for example, original data source class has to be switched to Java Simon data source and original
datasource will be provided as a parameter.
In addition to this Simon provides JMX support (see org.javasimon.jmx
) or simple EJB/CDI intercpetor.
It is also very easy to hook onto Simon events (create/destroy of the Simon, measuring, start/stop, ...) using
Callback
facility (set up on the Manager object).

Section: User Commands (1)Updated: 3 November 2009
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
getcertSYNOPSIS
getcert request [options]DESCRIPTION
Tells certmonger to use an existing key pair (or to generate one if one is not already found in the specified location), to generate a signing request using the key pair, and to submit them for signing to a CA.KEY AND CERTIFICATE STORAGE OPTIONS
- -d DIR
- Use an NSS database in the specified directory for storing this certificate and key.
- -n NAME
- Use the key with this nickname to generate the signing request. If no such key is found, generate one. Give the enrolled certificate this nickname, too. Only valid with -d.
- -t TOKEN
- If the NSS database has more than one token available, use the token with this name for storing and accessing the certificate and key. This argument only rarely needs to be specified. Only valid with -d.
- -f FILE
- Store the issued certificate in this file. For safety's sake, do not use the same file specified with the -k option.
- -k FILE
-
Use the key stored in this file to generate the signing request. If no
such file is found, generate a new key pair and store them in the file.
Only valid with -f.
KEY ENCRYPTION OPTIONS
- -p FILE
- Encrypt private key files or databases using the PIN stored in the named file as the passphrase.
- -P PIN
-
Encrypt private key files or databases using the specified PIN as the
passphrase. Because command-line arguments to running processes are
trivially discoverable, use of this option is not recommended except
for testing.
KEY GENERATION OPTIONS
- -g BITS
-
In case a new key pair needs to be generated, this option specifies the
size of the key. If not specified, a reasonable default (currently
2048 bits) will be used.
TRACKING OPTIONS
- -r
- Attempt to obtain a new certificate from the CA when the expiration date of a certificate nears. This is the default setting.
- -R
- Don't attempt to obtain a new certificate from the CA when the expiration date of a certificate nears. If this option is specified, an expired certificate will simply stay expired.
- -I NAME
-
Assign the specified nickname to this task. If this option is not specified,
a name will be assigned automatically.
ENROLLMENT OPTIONS
- -c NAME
-
Enroll with the specified CA rather than a possible default. The name of
the CA should correspond to one listed by getcert list-cas.
SIGNING REQUEST OPTIONS
If none of -N, -U, -K, -E, and -D are specified, a default group of settings will be used to request an SSL server certificate for the current host, with the host Kerberos service as an additional name.
- -N NAME
- Set the subject name to include in the signing request. The default used is CN=hostname, where hostname is the local hostname.
- -U EKU
-
Add an extensionRequest for the specified extendedKeyUsage to the
signing request. The EKU value is expected to be an object identifier
(OID), but some specific names are also recognized. These are some
names and their associated OID values:
id-kp-serverAuth <IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.1
id-kp-clientAuth <IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.2
id-kp-codeSigning <IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.3
id-kp-emailProtection <IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.4
id-kp-timeStamping <IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.8
id-kp-OCSPSigning <IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>.9
id-pkinit-KPClientAuth <IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>
id-pkinit-KPKdc <IP_ADDRESS>.<IP_ADDRESS>
id-ms-kp-sc-logon <IP_ADDRESS>.4.1.3<IP_ADDRESS>
- -K NAME
- Add an extensionRequest for a subjectAltName, with the specified Kerberos principal name as its value, to the signing request.
- -E EMAIL
- Add an extensionRequest for a subjectAltName, with the specified email address as its value, to the signing request.
- -D DNSNAME
-
Add an extensionRequest for a subjectAltName, with the specified DNS name
as its value, to the signing request.
OTHER OPTIONS
- -C command
- When ever the certificate is saved to the specified location, run the specified command as the client user.
- -v
-
Be verbose about errors. Normally, the details of an error received from
the daemon will be suppressed if the client can make a diagnostic suggestion.

I need to do some scripting from time to time, and I usually use Javascript to do everything. I needed to generate GUIDs for some CRM data that I wanted to create programmatically. I found this article from the Microsoft Scripting Guy.
He gave the example in VBScript, so here is the equivalent in JScript:
I was deploying an application for a client today when I realized that they didn’t have the 4.0 framework installed on the target machine. I’ve done this plenty of times, but apparently I forget this one configuration step each time. For the benefit of myself and hopefully others, here is a description of the problem and the solution.
Problem: we need to install a 4.0 application to a server that is running IIS6 and doesn’t have the 4.0 framework yet installed.
Initially, hitting the page gives us the following error:
Line 19: /> Line 20: <system.web> Line 21: Line 22: </system.web> Line 23:
Ok, great, so all we have to do is install .NET 4.0. We’ll fire off the web installer from here
Once we have things installed, we can select 4.0 as the framework for our site in the IIS6 configuration page for the site:
So far, so good. Restart IIS and browse to the page, and:
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Please try the following:
Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly.
If you reached this page by clicking a link, contact the Web site administrator to alert them that the link is incorrectly formatted.
I just had this happen to me a second time, and I didn’t recall what I did the first time so I’m blogging it now. The issue is that you add a reference to some library in Visual Studio and it just won’t pick up the reference. There are a lot of things that can cause this, but the one that gets me is the platform target setting of the project. If you are building for a specific CPU the project will try to resolve references to any assemblies using the same CPU target. Most of the time we are building purely managed assemblies, so the setting is ‘Any CPU’. Sometimes new projects get created by Visual studio with x86 as the target platform (not sure why this is) so none of your references work until you recall to change the setting back to ‘Any CPU’. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, take a look at the following screenshots:

Anyone that has spent some time developing solutions for Microsoft CRM should be familiar at least with grabbing an entity instance or collection of instances from CRM using CrmService.Retrieve() or CrmSevice.RetrieveMultiple(). It is conceptually straightforward to pass CRM an ID and get the corresponding instance back. While a little more advanced, using FilterExpressions is still pretty easy to visualize, since we are dealing with properties of a single entity. Things start to get a little more complex if we’d like to involve more than a single entity in our selection criteria however.
In CRM, in order to perform a query that takes more than a single entity into consideration we need to use a LinkEntity. Notice that I didn’t say that we’d like to perform a query that returns more than a single entity type, since CRM QueryExpression queries are limited to returning a single type of entity. We can get around this limitation by using the FetchXml interface, but the data is returned as Xml rather than BusinessEntity instances, so we would have to pull out what we need by hand.
One of the things that makes LinkEntities confusing initially is the idea that we are traversing the relationship in a particular direction – that is, there is a ‘from’ entity and a ‘to’ entity. In terms of a typical SQL join, we are dealing with sets, so we can express the relation from either end. That is, we could write a query that returns a parent row along with the related detail rows using either of the following SQL statements:
However, in CRM, we must start the relation with the entity that we wish to return as the result. So, if we’d like to return the detail entities for a particular parent entity, we’d need to traverse the relationship from detail to parent rather than parent to detail.
Let’s try to write a LinkEntity expression using the example given above. We know that the corresponding SQL statement would be of the second form in the code listing. The LinkEntity is constructed using the entity name and field on each side of the SQL ‘on’ clause. The only thing to watch out for is the order – that is, which entity is used as the ‘from’ side and which is the ‘to’ side. Since we are going from detail to parent given that we’d like to return the detail entities as the result, we’d use SQL of the form:
1
detail.parentid=parent.id
which corresponds to the following LinkEntity construction:
That seemed pretty straightforward. There is one more thing that we must do in order to construct a useful query – add the condition that selects which parent instance we are interested in. I’ve covered FilterConditions in a previous post, and we are going to construct a FilterCondition in just the same way. Here is the code:
Now that we have the filter, the only tricky part is where to put it. Since FilterExpressions don’t specify the entity to which they apply, the placement of the expression is critical. Since we want to apply this filter to the parent entity, and the parent entity is the ‘from’ entity of the LinkCriteria, we’ll need to attach it to the LinkCriteria of the LinkEntity rather than the FilterCriteria of the QueryExpression like this:
1
linkEntity.LinkCriteria=filter;
The full query code looks like this, including the creating of the QueryExpression:
Hopefully this post clears up some of the confusing aspects of using LinkEntities. I have spent a long time trying to track down mysterious bugs related to getting the entity order wrong or attaching the FilterCriteria in the wrong place. The documentation doesn’t explain this well in my opinion, so hopefully this saves you some grief.
Have you ever wanted to do a quick IISReset on a remote server without having to switch to or start a remote desktop session? Shouldn’t it be as easy as it is on Linux where you can have a console open for any machine that is running SSH (which is just about every Linux box)?
There are several different ways to get remote commandline access to a Windows machine. The guys at Sysinternals have offered a free tool called PSExec for years now that works great if you are on a local network. However, it relies on a lot of tricks that include the Windows file sharing ports which are typically blocked if the machine is behind a firewall. Microsoft, starting with Windows Server 2008, provides its own next-generation shell called PowerShell that is supposed to make all of this pain go away. My experience is that there are so many steps needed to get two machines talking remotely over PowerShell (I’ll blog about this sometime, as it can be worth it in some cases – PowerShell really is quite, er, powerful).
Recently I wrote an article about creating backhaul SSH tunnels from a remote host back into your development machine. Today, I’m going to show you how you can use a tunnel set up using SSH to get a Windows command prompt on the remote server.
We are going to use a tool called Netcat to accomplish our goal. Netcat for Windows can be downloaded here. We will need this tool on both ends of the connection – client and server. Netcat needs no installation, but it is handy if we have it in the path somewhere so it can be invoked from the commandline easily.
Once we have Netcat on both machines we can set up the server to listen on a port of our choosing and serve up cmd.exe over the network. On the client end, we will use Netcat again, but in client mode, to connect to the server and display the output from cmd.exe on the local machine.
On the server we invoke Netcat like so:
1
> nc -l -p 7777 -e "cmd.exe"
Here we are telling Netcat to enter listen mode on port 7777, executing ‘cmd.exe’ when a client connects. Netcat will forward all input from the network to cmd.exe and return all output back over the network.
On the client end, we connect
1234
> nc localhost 7777
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
>
Wait a minute, why are we connecting to ‘localhost’ if we really want to get a remote shell? Well in the previous article, where we set up the SSH tunnel, we configured our backhaul connection to listen on the remote port 7777, and the client is that remote host, so from the client’s perspective we need to connect to localhost. Then the tunnel does its thing, which is to forward traffic from the local port 7777 to the remote port, where we have Netcat listening.
We can prove that we are actually on the remote host by doing something like this:
123
> hostname
remote-srvr
>
Hopefully this saves you some time, since now you can just switch to your command window and type ‘iisreset’ instead of messing with remote desktop. One thing that I’d like to get working, but haven’t yet, is some console text editor. I have tried VIM and some others, but they all try to access the local console via some mechanism other than standard out, so they don’t work. VIM tries to change the display mode of the console window that the remote Netcat process is running under rather than the local console window that the client is running in. Perhaps if we ran the Netcat server as a service without an attached console things would work. Hopefully someone can help me out in the comments.
One parting note – the listening Netcat has no security, so anyone on the remote network can connect to it. As long as the remote network is secure and behind the firewall, using Netcat for remote connections shouldn’t pose much of a risk, especially since once you are connected no one else can connect to your running Netcat process.
I did a quick experiment to see what the serialization formats look like for a DynamicEntity and a static entity type as found in the Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy namespace. The results were predictable by looking at the structure of each type of entity, but I thought that I’d post my results here if for no other reason than to provide you with some canned CRM data that you can use for testing, which was the entire point of this exercise for me. I also wanted to know if CRM entities could be ‘round-tripped’ – that is, serialized to xml and then deserialized back to entity instances. The answer is yes, they certainly can. So we can grab some data from a live CRM installation and use it in offline tests.
The following code illustrates the concept of using .NET serialization to round-trip a .NET type (a CRM entity in our specific case):
When we save the intermediate results to disk, we get a file like this for a static product type:

I’ll be following up with how I’m using this in my mock CRM implementation that I’m going to use for testing.
WebPart pages support lots of advanced functionality right out of the box, but there are some complexities in getting everything set up correctly. In a previous post, I pointed out an issue that I had with WebParts personalization support. Another thing that I got tripped up on recently was getting design mode working.
Design mode is a page viewing mode in which the WebParts on the page can be moved around via drag-and-drop using the mouse. This support is baked in, you just need to know how to enable it. Intuitively it seems like there should be an enum somewhere with the different display modes that you can use to change the mode. It doesn’t quite work this way, and the documentation is a little bit confusing on exactly how things are supposed to work.
The documentation gives an example in which the supported DisplayModes are queried from the WebPartManager and their names are added to a drop-down field on the page. Simply stated, all of the possible display modes are stored as static fields of the WebPartManager class rather than as an enum. The display modes supported at runtime for a given WebPartManager instance are found using the SupportedDisplayModes property.
Note that if we try to set a display mode that is not supported by the WebPartManager, a runtime error will result. Also, drag-and-drop doesn’t work in all browsers. It didn’t work in Google Chrome for me, but it worked fine (go figure) in IE8.
On more than one occasion I’ve had to assemble a complex query for retrieving CRM entities. Unfortunately, the QueryExpression API can be pretty confusing. I’ve actually written several query APIs for other projects myself, and this one still trips me up sometimes.
The basis for my confusion, and probably the confusion of many others, is that the naming is slightly confusing and it is not obvious at first blush why there is a need for both FilterExpression and ConditionExpression.
To clear up the naming convention, there are two types that are used in the construction of the selection condition: FilterExpression and ConditionExpression. FilterExpression is used to express boolean conjunctions and disjunctions (and and or), and ConditionExpression is used to represent (in)equality, and set membership. There is an inconsistency in naming of the field that holds the filters at the top level however, there being a QueryExpression.Criteria property rather than QueryExpression.Filters.
One way to look at a complex query is that the criteria consist of a tree of FilterExpressions with ConditionExpressions as the terminals. That is, FilterExpression has a collection of other FilterExpressions, whereas ConditionExpressions do not contain any further expressions.
As an example, if we wanted to express the clause:
1
( A = 1 and ( B = 2 or C = 3 ) )
we would need two FilterExpressions and three ConditionExpressions. It is easy to see how to construct the ConditionExpressions - we simply create three instances using ConditionOperator.Equal as the operator. For example:
Notice that the value is placed in an array of integers. ConditionExpression.Values is a collection since we support the possibility of testing for set membership, thus necessitating the use of a collection for the possible values.
Next we create two filters, one each for the ‘and’ and ‘or’ expressions:
12345678
FilterExpressionandFilter=newFilterExpression();andFilter.FilterOperator=LogicalOperator.And;FilterExpressionorFilter=newFilterExpression();childFilter.FilterOperator=LogicalOperator.Or;// Now establish the filter hierarchyandFilter.Filters=newFilterExpression[]{orFilter};
Once the filters are set up, we can apply the conditionals:
I have organized the code slightly differently than most of the code samples available from Microsoft. I think that looking at the filters as a tree structure makes things clearer. Notice that a ConditionExpression is given the same consideration that a FilterExpression is given when evaluating the entire expression – the boolean operator is applied to conditionA and the result of the evaluation of orFilter.
Somehow, I think that this API could have been simpler. I might explore wrapping this API in something a little less confusing, perhaps at the expense of supporting less frequently used operations. Hopefully this gives you a slightly different perspective on constructing Criteria expressions in CRM. I’ll cover (the also confusing) LinkEntity in an upcoming post.
I was poking around in some of the CRM libraries in the course of writing a mock CRM web service for testing purposes and I found a few interesting things that I thought would be useful to share. If you have never used the wonderful .NET Reflector you really owe it to yourself to grab it and poke around in your favorite .NET libraries to see how they work under the hood.
Anyway, on with the analysis. What I wanted to find out is how CRM knew what kind of entity was being passed in to it via the web service. If the entity happened to be a DynamicEntity, things are straightforward as there is a name field. BusinessEntity, however, has no such field. In fact, it seems to serve only as placeholder type, contributing no fields of its own. This was kind of surprising to me, as I would have thought that since every entity has a name, and every instance has an ID that we’d have some common fields here. Otherwise on the server, Microsoft would have to use reflection to figure out what we were passing.
The definition of Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.BusinessEntity looks like this:
Notice that there is no superclass, and it does not implement any fields – only a protected default constructor. I went to the CRM server and grabbed the .NET assemblies for further inspection. I was looking for the implementation of the ‘Create()’ web service method. It took a little guesswork, but I found the method Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Crm2007.CrmService.Create(), which looks like the following:
12345678
[SoapHeader("CallerOriginToken"), CrmSoapExtension(typeof(CrmAuthenticationSoapExtension)), SoapHeader("UnknownHeaders"), SoapHeader("AuthenticationToken"), WebMethod(Description="Creates an instance of an entity."), SoapHeader("CorrelationToken")]publicGuidCreate(BusinessEntityentity){Exceptions.ThrowIfNull(entity,"entity");base.CheckUnknownHeaders();CrmServiceInternalinternal2=newCrmServiceInternal();returninternal2.Create("http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2007/WebServices",entity,this._correlationToken,base.CallerOriginToken,SecurityLibrary.GetCallerAndBusinessGuids(),base.CurrentCallerId);}
We can see that the dirty work gets done by the Create() method on an internal class called CrmServiceInternal. Let’s take a look at this method to get the details on the BusinessEntity type that we are passing around:
So here we use a field called LogicalName, which wasn’t on BusinessEntity when we looked at it before. Looking at the argument list, it takes a single argument of type BusinessEntity, which is what we were expecting, but on navigating to the type, I realized that it was a different type altogether than what we had in the client-side library. This version of BusinessEntity derives from a BusinessEntityBase type, as follows:
So, by virtue of serialization, the types are effectively converted from a type in one hierarchy to one in another unrelated hierarchy. This was a great exercise in understanding what was going on under the hood, but unfortunately didn’t help me out much when creating my mock service. I might try to use the internal CRM classes for this to see where it gets me, but since I’m aiming to mock what the client sees, this doesn’t seem likely to help.
As a parting note, I’ll add that the server side implementation of the web service does not actually implement ICrmService that is presented to the client via the SDK.
If you are developing Microsoft CRM solutions for clients like I am, you have probably gotten requests for Microsoft SharePoint integration. SharePoint provides a framework for user customization and authentication as well as providing users the ability to create dynamic content without any programming. However, this power comes at the price of slightly more complex development paradigms than what we are used to with plain ASP.NET. Fortunately, once we understand the basic building block, the WebPart, the rest should begin to fall into place.
I’m going to be targeting SharePoint 2010, but the concepts should be similar for previous versions of SharePoint. It is worth noting that Microsoft recommends development of ASP.NET WebParts instead of SharePoint WebParts. There are some differences in capability, but for our purposes here it won’t matter. Also, to do the latter type of WebPart, we would need to have SharePoint installed locally on the development machine, which is a big drawback. ASP.NET WebParts can be developed as long as the .NET framework is installed (and if it isn’t you probably wouldn’t be reading this blog).
Ok, for starters, although it is possible to use a plain UserControl as a WebPart, we’ll be creating a proper server control that implements System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart.
To get started, all we need is an empty ASP.NET web site. Once we have created a web site in Visual Studio, creating the web part is as simple as inheriting from WebPart and overriding a single method. Here is the shell of the class:
So, as you may have guessed, we need to implement code that generates the content for the WebPart just like we would when writing a server control.  What we have done so far is exactly what we would have done to create a server control. However, in order to use the WebPart in a page, we need some extra machinery: namely the WebPartManager and the WebPartZone. The WebPartManager coordinates all of the WebParts and WebPartZones on the page, so we only need one of them. WebPartZones can be thought of as the container for a WebPart.
The markup for a basic WebPart page looks something like this:
Note that the WebPart gets added to the page in much the same way as a normal ASP.NET custom control. We need to use something like this to register the tag name:
With personalization enabled, the rendered control looks like this:
There is one final thing that I’ll leave you with. After playing around with the WebParts for a while, I accidentally deleted the WebPart from the page and I couldn’t get it to display again. This is due to the way that personalization works. I didn’t set up a personalization provider, but somehow it was still being persisted. Personalization can be disabled on the WebPartManager by setting Personalization-Enabled to false, either in code or in the markup. Alternatively, if you’d like to keep personalization enabled, the state can be reset by calling ResetPersonalizationState() on the WebPartManager. I added a button to the page so that I could clear the state easily at runtime.

Javablog - 01/01/2016
Happy new year!
I am happy to report that both Ruby and Javascript have metaobjects. This means that rather than defining basic properties and methods for each and every object created over and over again, it is possible to make a template that can be applied when needed.
Imagine that we wanted to make some beverages for our New Years Eve extravaganza. Making a template object would be a good start.
In Ruby, these metaobjects are called classes—described last week.
class Beverage
attr _accessor :booze, :mixer, :strength
def initialize (booze, mixer, strength)
@booze = booze
@mixer = mixer
@strength = strength
end
def how_crazy?
if @booze ==“tequila” && @strength >5
puts “Hella crazy!”
else
puts “OK.”
end
end
end
In JavaScript, these metaobjects are established through constructor functions.
var Beverage = function (booze, mixer, strength) {
this.booze=booze;
this.mixer=mixer;
this.strength=strength;
this.how_crazy = function (){
if (booze == "tequila" && strength > 5)
console.log("Hella crazy!");
else
console.log("OK.");
}
};
var margarita= new Beverage ("tequila", "lime", 6)
margarita.how_crazy()
=>Hella crazy!
There are a few dissimilarities between these two strategies. Notice the syntactical differences--Ruby's instance variables are demarcated by an @, wheras Javascript uses this. More significantly, Ruby’s classes come with many build in methods and can have a parent class as well, while one must write ANY methods needed for a JavaScript constructed object.

SafeOrbit.Random Namespace
Classes
| Class | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| EntropyHasher | ||
| FastRandom |
A fast random number generator. Does not generate secure numbers, use SafeRandom for better security.
* It is up to 8x faster than Random depending on, depending on which methods are called.
* Allows fast re-initialisation with a seed, unlike Random which accepts a seed at construction
time which then executes a relatively expensive initialisation routine. This provides a vast speed improvement
if you need to reset the pseudo-random number sequence many times, e.g. if you want to re-generate the same
sequence of random numbers many times. An alternative might be to cache random numbers in an array, but that
approach is limited by memory capacity and the fact that you may also want a large number of different sequences
cached. Each sequence can be represented by a single seed value (int) when using FastRandom.
|
|
| RandomBase |
Helper methods for the implementations.
|
|
| SafeRandom |
A wrapper around RNGCryptoServiceProvider
|
|
| SafeRandomGenerator |
TinHatRandom returns cryptographically strong random data, never to exceed the number of bytes available from
the specified entropy sources. This can cause slow generation, and is recommended only for generating extremely
strong keys and other things that don't require a large number of bytes quickly. This is CPU intensive. For
general
purposes, see TinHatURandom instead.
|
|
| StartEarly |
Starts all entropy sources filling their respective entropy pools, to reduce wait time when you actually call them.
It is recommended to use StartEarly.StartFillingEntropyPools(); at the soonest entry point to your application, for example the
first line of Main()
|
|
| Xorshift |
This random alghoritm is around 29x times faster than Random.
This alghoritm has no crypthological value and is predictable.

This report does not refer to a single experience, but instead multiple experiences throughout the past several years, up until I completely quit using even small amounts (5 mg) of caffeine.
I've always, since childhood, felt I reacted strangely to caffeine, but nonetheless consumed sodas nearly every day throughout childhood and adolescence. This never caused me any trouble, but I often could swear that the stuff made me tired.
Fast forward to about age 19. (It is noteworthy that from age 18 - 20 I took Effexor at 275-300 mg daily) Sometimes, after consuming 50-100 mg of caffeine, and especially in combination with moderate amounts of cannabis, I would get a really nasty feeling throughout my body. The feeling is best described lethargy, achiness, and overstimulation all at once. It is akin to the nasty body feeling of having a bad cold, minus the respiratory symptoms, fever, and headache. Since this only happened on occasion, I never really connected it with caffeine consumption.
Fast forward again to age 23. I seldom used caffeine over the past several years, but occasionlly did and would find that I would get EXTREMELY JACKED on just a cup of coffee (at least as stimulated as 15 or 20 mg of Adderall will get me). 50-200 mg of caffeine, again especially (but not necessarily) in combination with cannabis, begins to consistently produce that nasty feeling. It would typically take about a day after drinking a Mountain Dew or a cup of coffee for it to manifest. But then I'd feel the malaise coming on, and it would remain for longer and longer periods of time, eventually lasting as long as a week after a single consumption! The body feeling also became stronger, intensely unpleasurable, and affected my sleep. I made a certain correlation with caffeine and stopped its use (including chocolate) entirely.
Now, I NEVER get that feeling UNLESS I accidentally consume caffeine. The last time it happened was after I drank a mixed alcoholic drink containing about a third of a Coke. I initially assumed that such a small amount would certainly not cause any trouble, but sure enough, the next day I felt the malaise, which continued for 3 days total!
Maybe I just metabolize the stuff in a strange way. Cannabis and past use of Effexor may contribute through means of norepinephrine modulation, though I don't know enough about this to do anything but guess. I have read that with caffeine, one is more likely to develop an allergy with increased exposure, so perhaps this is the case.
I do know that other stimulants such as ephedrine, cocaine, amphetamines, and even ginger and ginseng never cause this problem for me. Another strange thing I have noticed is that chocolate combined with cannabis will almost definitely create an extremely apathetic and depressed state in me. Since theobromine is a caffeine relative, perhaps there is a connection here.
It really sucks because I do have to resort to using possibly more dangerous stimulants when I need a boost. Caffeine is also in SO many things that I'm constantly on guard for it. Trust me, the nasty feeling is truly awful for me - so bad, that I'd rather have an alcohol hangover any day than to experience it again.

New shelter beds for women
by Jon ManchesterWest Kelowna will benefit from 26 transition beds and 30 units of second-stage housing for women and children leaving violence.
The Kelowna Women's Shelter will operate the spaces, part of 260 new spaces of transition, second-stage and affordable housing announced by the provincial government, Monday, in 11 buildings across B.C.
The announcement kicks off "16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence."
"It's encouraging to see communities and partners around the province working together to ensure that women and children have safe and secure places to go when they need help," said Selina Robinson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. "Everyone deserves to live a life free of violence with hope for the future, and we are working hard to create more homes and opportunities for women and children to thrive."
Combined with a first round of projects announced in 2018, more than 600 new homes are open or in progress.
The homes will be operated by non-profit providers that specialize in housing and supports for women and children who are experiencing or at risk of violence.
In addition to funding construction, the province will provide funding for support services including emotional support, safety planning and information and referrals to medical, legal and financial assistance.
The projects are part of a 10-year, $734-million investment to build 1,500 safe homes with supports for women and children leaving violence. It's anticipated the funding will increase the number of transition homes by 63%.
- Women's transition houses are staffed 24/7 and provide safe, short-term shelter and supports (typically for 30 days) for women and children fleeing violence.
- Safe homes provide safe, short-term shelter and supports (typically for 10 days) for women and children fleeing violence in rural and remote communities.
- Second-stage housing provides safe, short-term housing and supports for women after they leave an abusive relationship or situation. Women can stay for six to 18 months while they prepare for independent living.

This hearty, slow-cooked stew is easy to throw together and creates very little washing up.
Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based casserole over a medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until softened but not browned.
Add the plum tomatoes, crushed black peppercorns, bay leaves and thyme and continue to cook, stirring regularly, for 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the seasoned flour and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the beef to the vegetable mixture, then pour in the pale ale and bring the mixture to the boil. Reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering and simmer gently for 3 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes, until the beef is tender enough to be cut with a spoon.
Serve the beef and ale stew either in bowls with thick slices of fresh bread, or on plates with mashed potato and green vegetables.

Registered Forever: NJ Offenders Fight for Reprieve
by EMILEE LARKINTRENTON, N.J. (CN) — A lawyer for New Jersey urged the state Supreme Court on Monday for a strict reading of a law that lets registered sex offenders off the registry so long as they keep a clean record for 15 years.
“Conviction means what we say it does, and that’s the conviction that triggers Megan’s Law,” said Special Deputy Attorney General Frank DuCoat, referencing the 1994 law enacted after 7-year-old Megan Kanka was raped and murdered by a neighbor who had already been convicted twice for sexual assault.
The law allows information to be provided to law enforcement and the public about the whereabouts of sex offenders, but lawmakers added a provision in 2002 that gives offenders a chance to be removed from the list if they do not commit any other offenses within 15 years of conviction.
Arguments before the state high court on Monday focused two sex offenders, referred to only as H.D. and J.M., who were convicted on sexual assault charges in 1994 and 1998. Both remained offense free until 2001 when J.M. was convicted of computer-related theft, and H.D. convicted for failing to register as a sex offender.
Though the state says the second convictions forfeited their chance to get off the list forever, the offenders say the 15-year window should reset with every new conviction, meaning they should have gotten another chance at removal from the list in 2016, 15 years after their second convictions.
A court ruled in their favor last December, but Assistant Prosecutor David Galemba pushed Monday for a reversal.
“Common sense did not get checked at the door when deciding what the Legislature meant with their word choice,” said Galemba.
Justice Barry Albin questioned if the seriousness of the second conviction played a role in deciding if a sex offender could be taken of the otherwise life-long list.
“I’ve given a hypothetical of a candy bar being stolen within the first year, I take it you wouldn’t argue that if that offense occurred, that person should be registered as a sexual offender for the rest of his life,” Albin said.
Galemba disagreed.
“We should expect anybody to follow basic rules of society,” said Galemba. “They’re not on Megan’s Law for stealing a candy bar, they’ve already violated the law in a very serious way.”
Galemba further stressed his point, noting that repeat offenders pose more of a risk to society, no matter how minor the crime.
“Knowing that they can go to those 15 years and apply to get relief, and they still can’t refrain from committing an antisocial act, they are more of a risk than somebody who can go those 15 years,” said Galemba.
When Justice Anne Patterson pointed underscored the safety-minded goals of the list, public defender Fletcher Duddy emphasized that the state has already deemed his clients to no longer be a danger to the public.
“Keeping them bound to Megan’s Law serves no remedial purpose,” said Duddy.
Chief Justice Stuart Rabner questioned Assistant Deputy Public Defender Jesse DeBrosse, also representing the offenders, to clarify what he thinks the word “conviction” in the statute means.
DeBrosse says that conviction can mean either the first sex conviction or an unrelated second conviction.
“I think ‘conviction’ can refer to the second conviction because the question is, has a person been offense-free within 15 years following ‘conviction or release,’” said Debrosse.
In an interview about the proceedings, psychology professor Elizabeth Jeglic noted that the benefits of keeping offenders on a registry is highly speculative.
“There is little to no evidence that being on the registry decreases reoffending, and it is likely that it may actually increase risk as it is harder to reintegrate into the community, find work, support systems etc.,” said Jeglic in an email.
Deputy Attorney General Emily Anderson, who argued a similar case before the court last month, also argued Monday for the state.
American Civil Liberties Union attorney Alexander Shalom appeared at arguments as a friend of the court.
Attorneys for both parties did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.
The panel was rounded out by Justices Jaynee LaVecchia, Faustino Fernandez-Vina, Lee Solomon and Walter Timpone.

[Gecode] GCC and Windows....
Christian Schulte
schulte at imit.kth.se
Thu May 13 16:26:02 CEST 2004
I just tried to have a smaller sets of exports on windows. However this
doesn't do the job.
In summary, the libraries compiled with gcc are worthless as they run TEN
TIMES SLOWER! As I have no clue what all this autoconf nonsense is actually
doing, I also have no clue how I can look at what is going on (I cannot even
build .s files with the nonsense Makefiles).
Any idea?
Christian
